A Montevideo band that's been mixing social commentary with danceable rhythms since the mid-90s.
If you're new to them, start with "En El Limbo" and "Va a Escampar." They frame what the band does well, catchy rhythms, a little social edge, and no pretense.
They've built a catalog that feels both urgent and lived-in, with songs like "En El Limbo" and "Por la Ciudad" sketching out the textures of urban life in Latin America. The music pulls from rock, reggae, and cumbia, but it's grounded in the kind of plainspoken observation that makes their live staples "Paren Hoy" and "Va a Escampar" connect. They've kept at it for nearly three decades without much flash, just steady work.
They formed in Montevideo in 1995 and released their debut "Destilar" not long after. Nine studio albums later, including "A Contraluz" and "De Bichos y Flores," the core lineup of Sebastián Teysera, Rafael Di Bello, Nicolás Lieutier, and Santiago Butler is still playing and recording. The sound has stayed energetic and direct, pulling from those same rock and reggae roots.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
